24:007:005 For if ye throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye
           throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour;

24:007:006 If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow,
           and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after
           other gods to your hurt: 

24:007:007 Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that
           I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever.

24:007:008 Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.

24:007:009 Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely,
           and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye
           know not;

24:007:010 And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by
           my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these
           abominations?

24:007:011 Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of
           robbers in your eyes?  Behold, even I have seen it, saith the
           lord.

24:007:012 But go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I set
           my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the
           wickedness of my people Israel.

24:007:013 And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the lord,
           and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye
           heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not;

24:007:014 Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my
           name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you
           and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.

24:007:015 And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all
           your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim.

24:007:016 Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry
           nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me:  for I
           will not hear thee.

24:007:017 Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the
           streets of Jerusalem?

24:007:018 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and
           the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of
           heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that
           they may provoke me to anger.

24:007:019 Do they provoke me to anger? saith the lord:  do they not
           provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces?

24:007:020 Therefore thus saith the Lord god; Behold, mine anger and my
           fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon
           beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of
           the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.
